He has an integrated academic practice which combines research, teaching and practice. After working in Interior design practice (Leisure, Workplace, Retail, Exhibition and Theatre design), he has actively researched and taught on spatial design programmes for over 25 years. His academic practice also includes working in many overseas locations, recruiting and developing academic work with international practices and educational institutions.<\/p><p>He completed his PhD in 2017, which explored the new tensions between people, spatial productivity and workplace design. This research helped to strengthens a humanist approach to the academic activity within the school and places the individual at the centre of the design practice. Central to Rod\u2019s academic practice is a continual enrichment of a designed society powered by original creative knowledge. This work is influenced by commercial practice experience and a research-rich academic environment.<\/p><p>Rod actively researches the spatial environment and ensures this work contributes to the currency of modules on the Interior Design programme in year one, two and final year. His work specialises in the development of design thinking and the enhancement of professional practice. Having a strong belief that students need to develop integrated and transferable skills, he encourages students drawing and communication skills as an anchor for more complex interior design visualisations and a dedication to the professional practices of design. By focusing on the human user, students develop projects that demonstrate the organisation of space, materials, colour and light. This enriches portfolio presentations and prepares students for the challenges of employment.<\/p><p>Rod has conducted many international design masterclass workshops which create fresh interrogation of the design process and develop new research knowledge into professional design practice. This is emphasised by the invited studio workshop on the \u2018Proximities of Learning\u2019 at the renowned Bauhaus in Dessau, Germany. Recent research includes a published chapter in the \u2018Interior Futures\u2019 book with the Royal College of Art and Rod is currently working on an international publication with Routledge \u2013 \u2018Interior Design \u2013 A global profession\u2019 which is due to be published in the Spring of 2020.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
